Selecting loggers & listeners in build file

           Summary: Selecting loggers & listeners in build file
           Product: Ant
           Version: 1.5.3
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: Other
         Component: Core
        AssignedTo: dev@ant.apache.org
        ReportedBy: karsten.silz@epost.de


I use the IDE Oracle JDeveloper 9.0.3.1 with Ant as the build system.  In
JDeveloper, Ant command line parameters are passed in through the project
settings which are stored in a file that is in CVS.

Since JDeveloper doesn't honor ANT_ARGS, the only option to change loggers /
listeners is through modifying the project file.  And this means that the
modified project file will not be automatically updated from the CVS server.  So
whenever we change the project file (which contains some frequently changing
parameters) we send out an email to everybody to do a clean update of the
project file and possibly reapplying the logger / listener to the updated
project file.  That's a bit inconvenient.

It would be nice if one could set the logger through properties or a special target.
